I turned 40
yesterday. I had a small meltdown at the
mall in the morning but other than that, I can say I have been pretty relaxed
about it. I like how I can see the glimmers
of wisdom that old age brings, but those mortality issues kind of bite.

Luckily I
have the best husband and the best of friends.

They planned
a surprise party for me.So when we
stopped to get some cash at the ATM, a limousine bus was waiting to whisk us all off for a
night of revelry in Tokyo.

After some
champagne toasts with our red Solo cups, we arrived at the New York Bar in
Tokyo….where Bill Murry and Scarlett Johansson were in the movie Lost In
Translation. If you have never seen this
movie, watch it. Now.)

This place
was crazy insane classy.

Beyond fun.

It was the
party of a lifetime.

Even the
toilets were sophisticated.

My favorite
birthday present was the poem that my husband wrote for me and read in front of everyone.

It made me
cry.

Thank you to
my husband for the best birthday ever.
Thank you to Kelly for planning everything for my husband so he could
take me out for my best birthday ever.
Thank you to all of my friends for the presents and love on the best
birthday ever.

I might just
have to turn 40 every year!

“The more you know who you are, and what you
want, the less you let things upset you.” Bill Murry as Bob, in Lost in
Translation.
